A retired South African rugby star who allegedly went on a killing spree with an axe in one hand and a Bible in the other has been charged with three murders. Joseph Ntshongwana claimed to be taking revenge on a gang that raped his daughter and infected her with HIV, according to a victim who narrowly escaped with his life. Authorities, however, say they've established that there was no rape and the former Blue Bulls player doesn't even have a daughter, the Australian reports. His lawyers argue that he is mentally unfit to stand trial.

Since he's mentally unfit to stand trial, give him his axe back and let him be on his way.

Just another news story scewed for someone sick enjoyment. That man does have a daughter, sick that this "news" site states otherwise. I don't agree with what he did, but you have to wonder what you would do if you were in his shoes.
